Liisa writes stories that reflect her core beliefs that there is humor in everything if you look hard enough, that love is more powerful than fear, that nature speaks when you listen close enough, and that dogs are the best people.

ABOUT LIISA
Liisa lives in Arizona with her fabulous husband and their scruffy rescue pup. When she isn't committing flights of fancy to paper, Liisa dances, draws, hikes, and stands on her head. She has an unabashed love for em dashes, clever puns, and the card game Fluxx.
Liisa writes books that children love and their carers love to read. Heck, if it's going to be their favorite story, it should be fun for everybody. Follow her Tell Me a Story blog for upcoming books, silly jokes, and bonus stories and rhymes.
Liisa's memoir, FlotsAMalgamation: a love story, tells of her near death by respiratory failure and how her husband's perseverance and presence kept her from slipping away. Follow her Amalgamation blog for conversation and resources about ICU delirium, Post Sepsis/Post Intensive Care Syndrome, and the non-linear recovery from serious disease.
